# Samuel Davies: Hope For the Penitent Sinner

“However vile and abandoned a sinner has been, yet, upon his repentance he becomes God’s dear son, his favourite child. He will from that moment regard him, provide for him, protect him, and bring him to his heavenly inheritance, as his son and heir.” — [**Samuel Davies**](/authors/samuel-davies), “The Divine Mercy to Mourning Penitents” in *Sermons*, Vol. 1 (1766), p. 119
